When a muralist's paintings come alive, wonder turns to danger

Past the 50-backer floor for a Pitch
Back this at one of three levels. Nothing is charged now. Pledges are only collected if the campaign reaches $450, which is 60% of its ask, and 50 backers, and you can change or withdraw yours until then.
You are backing a stage for perks, coins and early access. You are not buying a share of the title or any financial interest in it.
A pledge is a promise to back a campaign, not a payment and not a purchase of any financial interest. Nothing is charged unless the campaign is collected, and every campaign is approved before it opens. Full disclaimer

About this title
Synopsis
Paloma paints the long wall on Calle Progreso, and she paints it from memory, except the memories are not hers. They belong to the women on the benches, who tell her what stood here before the road came through. The jacaranda first. Then the fountain with the chipped basin. Then a shopfront that four different people describe four different ways, so she paints the one that was described best. On a Tuesday in May the jacaranda is standing at the end of the street, and it has been there, everyone agrees, for forty years.
Who this is about
Paloma paints the long wall on Calle Progreso from what the old women on the benches tell her was there before the road came through, because nobody else is writing any of it down.
What goes wrong
What she paints begins arriving. The jacaranda first, then the fountain, then something with wings that nobody remembers asking for.
What's at stake
The wall only holds so much, and everything she brings back takes the place of something that is standing there now.
Why it keeps going
Each episode one more person tells her what they lost, and she has to decide what it is worth to give it back to them.
Takeaway
Everything you restore is paid for by something nobody thought to protect.

Story, in the creator's words
Cielo Roto is a hand-drawn animated series about Valentina, a 19-year-old muralist in a fictional Mexican coastal town. After a strange earthquake, the fantastical creatures she paints on the town's walls begin appearing in the real world. At first the creatures are benevolent — healing sick animals, playing with children, bringing rain to dry fields. But when a darker painting Valentina made years ago during a personal crisis begins to manifest, she must race to understand the connection between her art and reality before the shadow creatures consume the town. The pilot arc will be 12 episodes of hand-drawn animation with watercolor textures, produced in partnership with Studio Ánima alumni. Each episode runs 4-6 minutes.

Where your money goes
Your money goes straight to the creator to turn this pitch into a trailer. A pitch today is a poster and a logline. What the money buys is the first piece of film anyone will see.
Nothing is collected until two things are true
This campaign has to raise $450, which is 60% of its ask, and reach 50 backers. Whichever of the two happens later is the one that counts. Money without backers is one person, and backers without money is a crowd that cannot fund the thing, so a Pitch campaign needs both.
